Raku Pottery

This past fall we built a propane fired Raku kiln, made clay tiles and fired them. It was an ambitious project since we had never done Raku pottery before. Researching this project taught us a lot and brought some great people into our maker community.

The burner is a high-heat model which has been added to a kiln which was formerly an electric kiln. The group modified the kiln so it could be propane fired.
